This is what you don't seem to understand.

All economics is what you would call "exploitative", because all economics is subtractive. This is the case because scarcity of resources is a stone cold fact. Absolutely inescapable. The law of conservation of matter is immutable, to escape it you would need to invent magic.

Trying to overthrow this fact, because a syphilitic old hobo from the 1860s said so, has lead to far more human suffering than the reality of scarcity ever has.

The free exchange of goods and services has been around for as long as humans have.

There you go, that's how far gone you are. There is such a thing as voluntary trade, to suggest that there isn't is asinine and completely ahistorical.

The free exchange of goods and services is a meme larp bro. He's not interested in your intra-liberal debates over the exact definitions of liberal power structures. He's so beyond this world.

I'm not talking about free trade, that is in fact just international economic warfare. I'm talking about the basics of commerce, buying and selling and bartering. Those are realities of human life.
